■A new book of dating advice for shy
men could help guys succeed with women
‘Don’t be Afraid to Dance: The Shy Man’s
Guide to Dating and Sex’
By Mason West
Oregon Daily Emerald
Jay Brock used to be afraid to dance.
He also used to be afraid to ask women
out.
But Brock overcame his shyness and has
since been living his life as a sleek dating ma
chine. Now Brock wants to .help men make the
same transformation he did by sharing secrets in
his book: “Don’t be Afraid to Dance: The Shy
Man’s Guide to Dating and Sex.”
When examining any book of the self-help
variety, it is important to ask what sort of au
thority the author has on the subject. Brock
lays out numerous anecdotes to teach the read
er by observing his successes and failures. If
the man is telling the truth, then he’s got au
thority there.
Brock also puts himself out on a limb by pro
viding mailing and e-mail addresses in the
book so that readers can contact him with
their own success stories. By leaving him
self so open, he displays confidence and
encourages trust. But really, a guy
doesn’t need to be ‘Super Authority
Man’ to give good advice. Some
times it just helps to have some
one else say what you already
know to give you a kick in the
butt.
